John Eldredge: Uncle Fred

Quotes 

• Simon Gordon : [Seeing Fred mixing himself a drink]  Starting a little early aren't you, Fred?

  Uncle Fred : I'm a playboy. I'm a wastrel. Admit it, dear brother Simon. But this is a wedding, not a board meeting. Why don't you take your hair down?

• Johnny Midnight : Fred, you're a social liability. You're the laziest man I know and you're totally irresponsible. But I can't believe you'd knife a woman to death.

  Uncle Fred : I don't believe you, Johnny. Why this sudden switch back to my side?

  Johnny Midnight : Well, you handle a knife like a canoe paddle. Whoever killed Lila used the knife expertly.

  Uncle Fred : Well, is that the kind of evidence you're gonna hand Chief Talman, Johnny? He'll laugh in your face.

  Johnny Midnight : You're wrong two ways. He won't be laughing. And it won't be my face.
